SKF 38393 hydrochloride is a benzazepine selective agonist of the D1DR (dopamine D1 receptor). Agonism of the D1DR by SKF 38393 is correlated to induced desynchronization of electroencephalographic activity in rats. SKF 38393 is also reported to demonstrate agonism of the serotonin SR-2C (5-HT1C receptor). SKF 38393 HCl is an activator of D5DR.
